Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: I still don't own it.
We head out into the preserve. This place is huge! There are animals everywhere. Most of them run, but a few watch us go by. Noel starts looking around like something is wrong. I wonder what it could be? Finally, we come to a cave. Noel seems to be on the verge of panic.
"Noel?" Rena finally asks. Noel, however, ignores her and enters the cave. We all follow him.
"No............."he whispers.
"NOEL!!" We all shout. This seems to shock him back. He looks at all of us.
"What is wrong?" Claude asks. Noel turns back to the cave.
"The air is thick with murderous intentions!!" he says. "The animals have turned violent!"
"What about the Synard?" Precis asks.
"The Synard is in this cave." Noel responds.
"Do the other animals come into this cave?" Bowman asks.
"No, the Synard is usually the only animal in here." I suddenly get a horrible thought.
"If the animals are violent now....and they meet up with the Synard in that state...." I can't bring myself to finish the thought. I find I don't have to. We all hurry into the cave.
This place is huge. It seems like a maze also. On top of that, we have to fight off all of the animals with their new violent streaks. To make it even slower, Noel insists that we give a "proper burial" to those animals we are forced to kill. We head around, and then hear a now-familiar voice above us.
"Ow ow ow ow ow....." I look up, as do the rest of us. It's that girl again. Doesn't she have anything better to do? I don't think she can see us. "Oh, man...I hope no guys are looking...." I think that should be the least of her worries. She runs off again. I just sigh.
"What is with her?" Ashton asks after she has gone.
"Who cares. She deserves what she gets." Dias responds. Thank you Mr. Ice. Opera and Ernest have gone up onto the ledge that she was on. It looks like they have found something.
"Hey guys.....look at this...." Opera holds up some kind of card.
"What does it say?" Claude asks. Ernest takes it.
"'Chisato Madison....Editor's Desk, Nede Chronicle.'" He reads. Great, a reporter. That's exactly what we need right now. We begin to trek deeper into the cavern. It seems like we have to fight more than we did before. Noel, of course, refuses to change his mind, so we have to wait for him to "properly bury" some of the animals. I think someone needs to get out more.
We finally make it to the Synard's nest. But it is not alone. There are no other animals here.....but there are a couple of monsters! In fact, I recognize them from Eluria Tower. They are attacking the Synard! We quickly jump in to help.
**battle**
It is finally over. They were stronger than I thought. I never figured Noel for such a powerful mage. Maybe I could get him to show me the crests he used. Claude has other ideas. He has his sword out, and is slowly advancing on the Synard.
"Claude!" Opera shouts. Claude doesn't look back.
"But, I have to fight it to become its master....." he says. Rena goes up and grabs his blade.
"NO! You mustn't!" she shouts. Noel comes up to them also.
"Yes, please!! It's been hurt!" Claude slowly lowers his sword. The Synard just collapses. We all look on in shock. Were we too late? Wait..what....two babies come out from behind it. So it was a mother....
"Do you see now....." Noel says. He seems just as surprised at this as we all are. Claude seems to think a moment.
"Yes......I can't.....I can't take a mother away from her children.." He looks down. "I guess I am just weak." I shake my head.
"No Claude. Had you fought it you would have been weak." Bowman says.
"Well, now what?" I ask.
"We will have to go back and see if there is another way." Ernest says. We all turn to leave, but Noel stops.
"Wait!!" he shouts. He goes up to the Synard. "She is trying to say something!" We all turn around, then gasp as Rena goes right up to it and kneels down.
"Rena?!" Dias shouts. Rena seems to be listening to the Synard.
"You'll help us?" she asks.
"Rena, can you understand her?" Claude asks. Rena stands up and nods.
"If you want to understand, you never need words." The Synard stands up and seems to beckon for us to climb on.
"Are you sure we won't all be too heavy for it?" I ask. Rena turns to the Synard. Then she turns back to us.
"She says it will be fine." She tells us. We all jump on. The Synard leaps up, and floats. Noel is watching from the ground. I grab onto Ashton. I never did like heights. Ashton chuckles a bit, then puts his arm around me. Maybe it is my imagination, but Precis seems to be looking at me like I am a traitor....
"WAIT!" Noel shouts. What? We haven't left yet? We all look down at him.
"What is it?" Claude asks.
"Take me with you." He says. We all think a moment.
"What?" Rena says. Noel isn't going to give up.
"The Ten Wise Men's escape and crimes are due to Nedian mistakes. I can't just let you take this on alone!"
"Well?" Claude asks us.
"Mages are hard to come by." Dias says.
"Does anyone object?" Rena asks. No one answers. She pets the Synard and asks if she would mind carrying Noel as well. The Synard lowers back onto the ground and allows Noel to get on.
"Thank you all." He says. We head off to Central City.
